Issue 14:

Two Autobots felled in the past two issues and the punishment is only beginning! A shocking revelation and an unexpected attack begins the "REVENGE OF THE DECEPTICONS," the storyline that leaves a lot more Autobots on the operating table, and their entire future on Earth in question-and also features the return of superstar artist DON FIGUEROA!

yay another art change with completely different styles.

Wonder if IDW will have to label every character again so we know who is who... :rolleyes:

i am getting tired of the constant art changes... dont get me wrong i dont mind it if someone comes in for a guest spot on a "one off" type off issue.... but then i would like to see it go back to some form of consistancy..

I don't mind different artists... but I dislike haphazard changes to character models. (-_-) Do they want them to look Neo-G1 or movie-esque? Just pick one and run with it for crying out loud...

I agree, there should be a level of consistency in the character models within a series. It throws you off too much when a character looks radically different from one issue to the next in the same story ark.

In comics Visuals are also an important part of the story telling process and having the character models change so radically makes it hard for someone to really immersed into it.

I'm glad the more complex designs are back but as I understand the next issue is being handled by a different artist again (so get ready for another change)

Just saw the 5 page preview, yet another human centric 5 opening pages.

Oh and spoilers The guy that shot Bee ordered the Cybertronian gun online.... :(

Bad Costa, very bad.

Absolutely. There's also this thing called Visual Continuity, which gets totally screwed up when they haphazardly change character models back and forth. It reminds me of this scene from Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. ;)

What? :confused:

Just saying that Costa's "explaining" of how the human who shot Bumblebee got his weapon was very very lazy.

Since the issue has been released, I'll just type it: The weapon used to shot Bumblebee was ordered online from a random website.... :(
Sure there are machinations behind it, but really, a website?

Yeah, I understood what you meant.

My 'What?' was mostly shock at the really stupid path they took in the story. It seems like trying to make some socio-political point but failing miserably at it having everyone in the room go 'Wwhaa?'
